VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

Aside from the usual unique species, there existed intelligent kinds that were rare even in this world.

Humanoid birds, fish that resembled mermaids but were actually fish, creatures born and raised in scorching flames that did not have any connection to the ethereal spirits… giant golems with superior intelligence, Druids that look after forests, Children of Light and Darkness…

There were many unique species in this world that one doesn't see often. And, aside from their set habitats and communities, and nations, there were only a few places where they could meet these beings and individuals.

"Huuuh! Haaa! Ye must be the Lord's friends~!"

The big humanoid resembling the ancient painting of Horus, a falcon headed god that didn't actually look like an eagle or had a muscular body.

He was wearing a thin cardigan on his upper body, but the lower part was certainly covered in proper clothing.

"Woh! Are you a bird, mister!?" Misha was excited to see this being.

They even had feathers connected to their hands like bats do, so they were certainly something that caught the little ones off guard.

"Muuuuu…!"

The little slime that could perceive emotions was especially excited to see this person.

It could tell the pureness that their emotions contained, and the little slime was excited to meet such a unique person.

"Huhuhahaha~! Seums like thee little guys luck me~."

The way he spoke was quite funny, especially to Elio who associated this individual with the Forgotten Enigma that had blessed him.

They weren't wearing any expensive jewelry like those people of sand and pyramids, and unlike what he knew about them, this being was quite humble.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Anyway~. Buds! Shel Woll get goin."

This person… this bird person, was from a faraway land who had been in this city for perhaps the longest.

He had been in this position ever since the third lord of the Cromwell assigned them this position, and ever since then, they had been here… as they knew.

"Em called Bald, and this Pwetty Lady here is Trischel."

Funnily enough, this person was named Bald even though they were covered in feathers from head to toe.

Instead of legs, they had bird-like claws, and even their hands with five fingers resembled that of a strong bird's.

They did not have any muscular features as one would find in special humanoid creatures that actually resembled that of the Ancient Egyptian gods.

These beings were special, there was no simple way to describe them, but they were different from an Aerokin like him.

And, unlike him, they were monsters that players and natives hunted— just like the sirens.

"Hehehe~. It tickles~." Mr. Bald and Miss Trischel were doing the necessary checks before they all went inside, but the feathers that Mr. Bald had were tickling her.

"Quite, Misha." Her mom could tell she was being unnecessarily loud, so she asked her to tone it down.

But why would the children do that when they were having fun?

"It is alglight~."

The Aerokins had wings but not like the Angels. They had beaks, but they did not just gulp down meat.

They had certain things they liked, and some of them were also herbivores.

They also had proper etiquette and manners unlike the wild beasts, and that made them different from the Creatures that resemble them closely.

"Okya~. You're alchecked~."

In the time they were doing the check-ups, Elio had observed this person closely.

From how he was dressed to how he was speaking to how his feathers looked to how he was a being of the physical world instead of a being born from nature.

Sera was interested in this creature, but not because it was something unique, but simply because there was something about these creatures that reminded her of something special.

This being, it wasn't a creature… It was a person, and Elio understood the meaning behind it after talking with them and asking them about some personal things.

[{ "It's not everyday you'll meet someone like him." }]

[{ "I know." }]

Alex had met others of his kind, as well as kinds that they might not see while they travel together in this world.

[{ "They are quite peculiar, you know." }]

They were quite simple creatures, not that different from humans, and the reason behind that might not be the constant interaction with human society.

They must have had their own unique beliefs and since they were not 'human' they would have also faced prejudice from the people around them.

[{ "They are simple people, though just like the other species when we go and meet them in their own habitat, you'll be surprised." }]

Especially in a city that lived in the past…

"After we go in, please be careful of the Flins. Some of them are sensitive so they might not like direct touch.

However, do not worry. With these bands on your hand, most of them will not attack you or harm you."

They were going to go inside now that they had finished the procedures. They were going to meet the birds and the creatures that were quite special for their kind.

Some of them were quite old, however, most of the ones here were less than a decade old… which was still a good time for Flins.

"Is everyone ready?"

"Muuuu~."

"Miu~!"

"Yeiiiiii~!"

The door that they were going to cross now was simply a wooden door, and beyond it was world completely different from this office like place.

"Alright then…"

Odin did not know much about these things, but he had seen this place in videos so he wasn't as excited as the children who were going to see this place for the first time.

-Click.

As they entered the place, they found themselves in a place filled with many trees, some big and some small.

-Chip! Chip! Chip!

-Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!

-Craw! Draw! Fraw!

-Skiiiiiiiiiiii…!

All kinds of bird sounds and calls and screams and noises greeted their eyes, along with a peculiar smell that was maintained here for the visitors as well as the workers.

There were some simple birds here and there were some that weren't as simple… like the bird that came and greeted them before anyone else.

"Chirp!" Explore more stories with empire

A silver bird that had a long tail as well as a beautiful crown.

"Hmmm?"

The bird was greeting them…

However, the one that it was greeting wasn't actually the People that had arrived.

"Muuuu?"

It was the slime who was the most prominent member of Elio's Family…
